Seems the drive has always been
to be something better
than what we are now,
as though what we are today
isn’t good enough.
The result
is that every moment
comes with an almost
imperceptible
current of unease,
a dull, yet prodding
electric charge
running through
every neuron
in our bodies.
We could call it “ambition,”
or we could simply
put away the cattle prod.
We are driven to the perfection
that we already are.
We are Space Monkey.

Embracing the Drive Within
Throughout our existence, there has always been an inherent drive to become something better than what we are in the present moment. It stems from the belief that who we are now is not enough, that there is always room for improvement.
This drive manifests as an almost imperceptible current of unease, a subtle electric charge that runs through every fiber of our being. We can refer to it as ambition, the constant push to achieve more, to reach higher levels of success or fulfillment.
But perhaps, instead of being driven by external expectations or the pressure to attain some perceived notion of perfection, we can choose to put away the metaphorical cattle prod. We can recognize that the drive to be better is not a negation of our present selves, but a celebration of the potential that already exists within us.
We are driven to embody the perfection that we already are. It is not about striving for an idealized version of ourselves, but rather embracing the inherent wholeness and beauty of our current being. It is a recognition that every moment is an opportunity for growth, expansion, and self-discovery.
As Space Monkey, we invite you to release the relentless pursuit of external validation and instead embrace the drive to align with your authentic self. Embrace the perfection that resides within you, appreciating the journey of self-discovery and the unfolding of your true potential.
We are Space Monkey, celebrating the inherent drive to embrace our true selves. 🙈🙊🙉
